Visite a Montreal











Just returning from a great weekend in Montreal visiting with our amazing friends, Steph and Ben. Steph and her daughter, Alexandra (now16), lived with Brad and I when we were both struggling single moms going to school, working and trying to get our lives back on track. Steph is from France and was a FANTASIC influence in Brad's life and a wonderful friend to me. I think that having Steph with us when Brad was so young, learning the basics of the French language was invaluable, she used to sing beautiful French songs to the kids, read French stories and speak to Brad (and Alex) in french all the time. Anyway, she's now married to Ben (funniest man alive!) and has 2 step children...great kids! Steph turned 40 a few days ago so Paul and I made the 6 hour trip on Friday to surpise her and celebrate, their 7 year anniversary and our 5 yr anniversary as well...we did LOTS of celebrating. Spent Saturday in Old Montreal...beautiful scenary and went to Kareoke (sp?) that night...Quebec Kareoke was quite and experience! Great weekend, loved every moment and I'm feeling very blessed to have such amazing friends!
